I've started using Namecheap after the SOAP story. Still didn't migrate all my domains from GoDaddy, but get a much better experience with Namecheap: their site works correctly, do not try to trick me into buying extras, support actually answers (didn't solve my issue, but that was because it couldn't really be solved).
Anyway, I'm already looking into migrating to Gandi because of Namecheap's lack of support for DNSSEC.
Isn't DNSSEC trivially defeated right now, as any machine will accept a non-signed DNS record currently? I don't see any rush to get in on that, if you can beat DNS with an MITM, you can just as easily downgrade DNSSEC right now. We're many years away from DNSSEC actually being viable, if it ever will be. Wait till it's actually being enforced by OS-level resolvers or there's simply no threat model in which it is beneficial.
It's still extremely easy to use it securely, just refuse to load a non-signed record. But, of course, it's not really desirable to do that for any query, just for the ones you care about.
Hey guys - Tamar from Namecheap here. Just an FYI - we've been promising this for quite some time and we're still working on it. I can't offer an ETA just yet, but it's on our roadmap.
